Utterly, completely and slendidly charming.
Originally illustrated and delightfully told.
STEPHEN FRY

This beautiful and moving story follows the first year in the life of a lone evergreen tree growing in the heart of the ancient oak woodland of the New Forest. The evergreen is befriended by the oldest oak who has lived for hundreds of years. When winter arrives all the oak trees must go to sleep, but of course evergreens never sleep. Finally, after a long, cold and lonely winter, spring brings both sadness and joy to the little tree.

Join the old oak, the barn owl, the ponies and the squirrels in this enchanting, universally praised, life affirming modern classic.Visit the book's kids website at www.thelonelytree.co.uk.

Richly illustrated and sympathetically explored for younger readers and,
of course, that last acorn is the seed for a happy ending.
